Woh mere liyebadi prized possessions hai (They are prized possessions for me). When everybody in my home sleeps, I sometimes put those clothes on and take a trip down nostalgia lane (laughs)...I have some great memories of working on the show and it has given me a lot.

Once I started to feel somewhat settled, toh acting offers started coming in," he added.Sunil Grover was recently seen in the web series Sunflower by directed by Vikas Bahl and Rahul Sengupta.
